• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Similarly, to improve South Korea’s anti-corruption strategy, the Korea Anti-Corruption Agency established, adequately staffed and funded agencies that were meant to investigate corruption cases. Those found guilty of corruption offences were punished according to the law without suspending their jail sentences or being pardoned by the President. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, corruption that involves members of the government is the ultimate cancer of development. It, therefore, must take concerted efforts to fight it. I am glad that His Excellency, President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is leading from the front in this fight and that the Leader of Opposition, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga is in full support. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: However, there seems to be blatant ‘tribalization’ of this noble cause. A section of leaders, especially from government, have been at the forefront in name-calling and undermining institutions and holders of constitutional offices charged with the onus of making this fight a success. view

Therefore, let us stop misleading the country that this war targets some individuals or tribes and give the DCI, DPP and EACC time to continue with this fight to finality. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: For a very long time, the fight against corruption was killed by absolute lack of political goodwill. This is not the case today. There is a strong and unwavering commitment by members of the ‘handshake’ team to shake free this country from the shackles of unprecedented grand theft of public money and resources. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Scanning through the recent cases of corruption in Government, one gets astounded. We are speaking of astronomical figures; billions of Kenya shillings that have gone down the drain in the Dams Saga and similar amounts that remain unaccounted for in the Jet Fuel Scandal. We are talking of the billions of Kenya Shillings of taxpayers’ monies that vanished in the maize payment impasse, et cetera. Madam Temporary Speaker, history is not written in futuristic terminologies. It can only be understood retrospectively. As a junior politician, beginning my political career, I was always awed by the concerted efforts of the Government ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Kenya is bleeding and hurting from corruption. Kenyans affected by the ravaging drought and famine in the northern part of the country are raising poignant questions regarding the moral values of the corrupt public servants. Our committed view
